I remember reading an article (not sure where) about a woman who had removed all the videos of her kids off YouTube because she found out that some of the ones that included them in swimwear had been embedded/put onto child porn sites. I've always found it weird how despite the fact they seem to try and come across as a wholesome Mormon family they come across quite the opposite (they don't talk religion much but they met as Mormon missionaries and mentioned trying to go to church every Sunday even if it wasn't always their denomination in earlier vlogs). The kids are always in the swim clothes, I'm not sure if I've seen a single video without them going swimming and Dorothy is rarely in an actual swimsuit it's almost always tiny bikinis. I used to enjoy their travel content but you've got to wonder who else is watching.
Maybe they don't care because views = money.
I actually recently started watching their videos and it took me a very short time to realise that there are some problems. Searching whether other people felt the same way or if I was being the weirdo got me to this site and other comments on Reddit.
i. Dorothy actually has several close-ups and zoom-ins that are very inappropriate many times in their videos. When a child is swimming you don't follow her from behind while she does it, you take shots from the front or side. (
) How does the father edit that and just leave it in? Yikes! 2 million views on that video, you have no idea who is watching. And now their videos are almost always about swimming, hardly ever anything interesting like when they were in Bhutan.
ii. And in the recent video it is clear that Dorothy and Cali want to be home. Dorothy wants a best friend and Cali wants to join a soccer team. Can't exactly do that if you are traveling around the world. Actually, Dorothy has said it very clearly in her own words (
- Notice how Dorothy doesn't read as well as Claire despite being the same age ) This traveling and fun in the sun lifestyle isn't for the children, it's for Garett.
